Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

To prevent me from doom scrolling I’m working on this lovely jumper from Tin Can Knits, Love Note. In a Les Garçons yarn, lavender tea. Just saw on the label it’s jointly Canadian and UK made. Go 🇨🇦 🍁. 🥰🥰
A light lavender lofty yarn knitted yoke of a jumper. A blue stitch runs through in the left hand side with visible blue and silver stitch markers on the right hand side. The knitting sits on a white pillow with a diamond motif.

@albomp.bsky.social can I ask what sanctions and tariffs Australia is planning for the actions of Trump and Elon Musk? They are systematically dismantling democracy in one of our closest allies and starting a trade war with another. We cannot trust them with our national security.

Step 1: Remove people with disabilities from the workforce because "they're not as effective as able bodied people". Step 2: Complain that disabled persons are sucking up healthcare resources because they don't provide any economic input. Step 3: Destroy disabled persons in gas chambers.

Things like not getting fired or shut out of public life for contracting COVID or getting vaccinated or wearing a mask. I need you to understand that rescinding this protection will hurt everyone. Disabled people first and foremost, but anyone with any medical condition ever. That’s everyone.

What getting rid of the ADA would do is force disabled people out of workplaces and schools. It will force us into deeper isolation. Deprive us of medical care. They want this very badly. Eugenicists believe we are a drain and should “just die”, in Trump’s own words.

I’m remembering that it was only 80 years ago when the prisoners were released from Auchwitz. It reminds me of my old neighbour who took care of me when I was working full time and studying my masters. He and his lovely wife would invite me over for dinner and send me home with food.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

So when it comes to "grow community locally" stuff, here's something non-Disabled folks especially have to figure out how to counter. There is a long-standing pattern where chronically ill people, even those who previously had extensive support networks and community, are abandoned and isolated.

So much this. And the big one that isn’t talked about is how this affects people with a disability. Who already have some of the lowest employment rates and highest poverty rates. I lost count of the times I was told I was too disabled to do a job I was already doing with another company.
